Jim Maillie, of 1033 Riehl said Wednesday that a group of Waterloo men had just returned home from a fishing trip with White last Friday. White operated the Derby Service Station on Falls Avenue, while living in Waterloo. He reportedly left about six years ago. THE WHITES, who still own a home in Waterloo, have one son who lives in Ames. storms throughout Central Iowa, "The biggest damage is to our schools and.

shopping areas and through the whole southeast residential area," said Mayor O.J. Weigel, a dentist and mayor since the beginning of the year. "It looks like probably a swath two blocks wide that catercomered across town. One elementary school is pretty well gone. It was a new brick structure.

Another elementary school lost two classrooms." Weigel said damage to the schools alone was estimated at $3 million and "at least 100 homes are either totally or substantially damaged." DAMAGING winds, hard rains and hail assaulted a dozen communities in a five-county area and wide-spread residents congregated in the streets to survey the damage. "WE'RE JUST going to have to level off and start again," said Marilyn Swain. An employe of a local Dairy Queen, Mrs. Swain said when the tornado hit "I herded four customers, four or five waitresses, myself and my boss into the walk-in freezer." She said when she got home, she found the force of the winds had lifted her roof, leaving a scarred crevice in the' ceiling. When the roof settled back down it pinned her drapes which had been sucked upward by the force.

"My drapes were hanging upside down in my living room, sticking into the attic," she said. SHE SAID another twister hit almost the identical area of Ankeny about seven years ago. Francis Sapp' said he was standing in the front door when he saw the funnels coming. "I saw a blueish light first, then it turned greenish. I heard a rumble and I tried to close the door but I couldn't, because it (the tornado) was hitting." He said he took refuge under the kitchen table while his wife and 16-year-old I Ajk ip I 4rr4lL rVi 'l '111.

White were found in bedclothes and were apparently asleep when the tornado hit. He said they probably died without knowing the storm hit. A highway patrolman said the White's home was "just shredded." THE TWO twisters which struck within five minutes of each other obliterated portions of Ankeny, a north Des Moines suburb and threw the town of 10,000 into a state of emergency. At least ten persons were injured as a result of the storm. A NEWSMAN on the scene said a 10 to 15-bIock area "looked like a battleground" after the tornadoes struck scores of demolished buildings, power lines downed, windows blown out, cars and trucks overturned and trees uprooted.

The state highway patrol, the National Guard and law enforcement officers from surrounding communities went to the scene and set up an emergency medical center in an elementary school. They worked throughout the night and ocntinued into the morning, when heavy equipment rumbled through littered streets to begin cleaning up. The early morning air was muggy as somber looking EPA tramples rights The power and authority of local governments, along with the rights of individual citizens, are being trampled under foot by the Environmental Protection Agency, created by Congress with broad public support as "Mr. Clean." Spawned for a good purpose, this agency is using its vast rules-making authority in despotic fashion in an attempt to supercede the powers that normally rest in local governmen-' tal bodies. For example, the agency with bureaucratic arroganceslapped automobile controls on the Houston, area.

It decreed that those firms with 1,000 or more employes in one facility and 700 company parking spaces exclusively for employes, must start a plan to encourage use of car pools and buses. The Houston Chronicle reported that the EPA laid down regulations for the companies to enforce, one being that employes driving to work alone must pay a $1 per day fine plus a fee equal to the average of what the three nearest commercial parking lots would charge for the day. IN OTHER WORDS, if the company and its employes won't voluntarily do what these bureaucrats demand, the EPA will blackjack them into it. What happened in Houston is only one example of what the EPA has in mind for American communities. Indianapolis has been another victim.

Plans for this city announced by the federal despots included a harassment tax on downtown parking, an emissions test for automobiles a car would have to pass it to be licensed and restrictions on off-street parking. Beyond the downtown area, the EPA plans to curtail construction of such things as shopping centers and other facilities these bureaucrats feel might contribute to air pollution. The Indianapolis News said that the regulations would "turn downtown Indianapolis into a national forest." Fortunately, the city officials, press and business leaders stirred up such a storm of opposition that the EPA rules have been modified, but not eliminated. UNDER ANOTHER EPA regulation, this federal agency has taken on the power of making the final decision as to approving new construction or modification of highways and roads, parking lots and garages, shopping centers, recreational centers and amusement parks, sports stadiums, airports and all kinds of commercial and industrial development. As one critic has said: "Local governments might just as well give up if the EPA can step in and usurp all rights, can become the super zoner and the final authority as to the pattern of economic development in a community." Only a few cities, so far, have felt the heavy hand of the EPA regulators.

But if the powers of this super-agency are not curbed, eventually our cities will all be ruled by our citizens will be forced to adopt a life style that these bureaucrats believe is proper.

1 Tuesday night during severe NATO ministers agree to cooperate part of our continuing efforts to reduce tensions around the world and to solve problems through negotiation, not confrontation," Nixon said. The written statement made no direct mention of economic aid, but said Spinola "told me in the most convincing terms of the desires of Portugal for even stronger and closer ties with the United States." NIXON ADDED that a major topic of discussion "was the imporuance that the United States attaches to Portugal's contribution to NATO and to Western security." White House officials rearranged the membership of the press pool, aboard Nixon's plane, replacing news service photographers with television correspondents. A White House spokesman said this was done so the correspondents could get back to Washington in time for evening network newscasts. Wednesday's hour-long session was billed by White House aides as a "courtesy meeting," but Spinola's aides said the talks would involve Portugal's new international role since a military overthrow of the old rightist government April 25. A CROWD OF several hundred were on hand to greet Nixon here and President Spinola unexpectedly flew in from Lisbon four hours early for Nixon's arrival.

Nixon said, "I have assured him he will have not only the understanding of the government of the United States but to the extent we are able our support in meeting the challenge." The two presidents made no reference to the soon-to-expire agreement allowing the United States to maintain a crucial air base in the Azores. NIXON'S jetliner took off for Wash-ington at 1:36 p.m. Azores time, 9:36 a.m. CDT. As it did, the President in a written statement said his meeting with Spinola was "a valuable reminder that the challenges of peace are not isolated to any single area of the world." "A truly effective structure of peace must embrace every area of world, convincing every nation that its dreams can only be realized in peace and not in war," the statement said.

Nixon said he had been preoccupied with the Middle East for the last six days, and said he told Spinola of "our irreversible commitment to continuing an active, constructive role there." "BUT NOW AS we return to the United States," he said, "we will refocus our attention on two other crucial areas of the world: Europe and the Soviet Union." He spoke of his stop in Brussels next week to sign a declaration of principles with NATO allies and the continuing trip to Moscow for summit talks with Soviet leaders. "Both of these visits are an essential LAJES, Azores (AP) Pausing here en route back to the United States from his Middle East mission, President Nixon told the new president of Portugal Wednesday that "an independent, free, prosperous Portugal is vital to the Atlantic Nixon also indicated, in his farewell remarks to President Antonio Sinola, that economic aid is planned when he spoke of working with Spinola "in the great goals he has set for his government." THE TWO presidents met for nearly two hours before Nixon headed on to Washington to conclude his 10-day period of diplomatic barnstorming. Nixon arrived Tuesday for an overnight stay. Spinola said the two presidents exchanged views on "the technical, economic, financial support which would enable Portugal to be economically on a par with other countries in Europe." Nixon, in response, referred to the wind guesting up to 50 miles per hour across the Atlantic island china. "The winds of political change have never blown stronger than they are all over the world today," Nixon said.

"WHAT WE must all understand is that change by itself, however, is not something that is necessarily good," Nixon added. "Change that sweeps away what was obsolete and what may have been wrong in the past is what we consider beneficial." As for Spinola's new government, "The allies are convinced that the fulfillment of their common aims requires the maintenance of close consultation, cooperation and mutual trust," the paragraph began. IT SAID the allies were "firmly resolved to keep each other fully informed and to strengthen the practice of frank and timely consultations." The French had objected that the much stronger wording of the original draft would represent a legal commitment for the allies to consult. Compromising, Kissinger agreed with Sauvagnargues and said that instead of a legal obligation there should be a moral and political commitment for the allies to consult with one another. 5 THE SAME clause, however, gave Kiss-' inger what he wanted, cautious recognition that NATO's interests in the nuclear age go beyond its geographical boundaries.

It said the allies should consult "on matters relating to their common interests, bearing in mind that these interests can be affected by events in other areas of the world." OTTAWA (AP) The 15 nations of the Atlantic alliance pledged Wednesday to re-dedicate themselves to the ideals of the 25-year-old NATO pact by maintaining "close consultation, cooperation and mutual trust." Foreign ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization initialed a "Declaration of Atlantic Relations" at their meeting in Ottawa, apparently ending 14 months of sometimes bitter squabbling between the United States and its European allies. THE DOCUMENT is expected to be signed formally by heads of state and government in Brussels on June 26, the day before President Nixon is to arrive in Moscow for talks with Soviet Communist party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev. The document's controversial 11th paragraph deals with the question of consultation, an issue which had threatened to split the alliance. The text of the paragraph resulted from a compromise reached Tuesday by Secretary of State Henry A.

Nixon tape shows date conflicts WASHINGTON (AP) -Some members of the House Judiciary Committee say a taped presidential conversation heard by the committee indicates President Nixon may have been aware of the Watergate cover-up at least four days earlier than he has admitted.

But other committee members disagreed. A TAPE heard by the committee on Tuesday indicated to some committee members that Nixon knew of the cover-up at least as early as March 17, 1973. It is not the four days that is significant in their view. But they said the apparent discrepancy raises doubts about Nixon's Watergate explanations. He has repeatedly given March 21 as the date he first learned of efforts centered in the White House to contain the spreading scandal.

The tape the committee listened to was an excerpt from one made June 4, 1973, while Nixon was listening to a number of tapes and commenting about them to aides Alexander M. Haig Jr. and Ronald L. Ziegler. MEMBERS said Nixon's comments about a March 17 conversation he had with his former counsel, John W.

A military communique said the planes bombed and strafed guerrilla strongholds in a ISminute raid and that all planes returned safely. THE ISRAELI air force made two raids Tuesday into the southwest comer of Lebanon bordering Israel. Lebanese authorities reported that one Palestinian was killed and five persons wounded in Tuesday's air strikes.

There was no immediate report of casualties Wednesday. The Israeli state radio said the raids were part of a day-today campaign to check such guerrilla assaults as the raid on the Shamir kibbutz six days ago. Three women died in that attack, along with the four-man Arab suicide squad. Usually the Israelis retaliate immediately to such guerrilla attacks with strikes the same day or the day after at Palestinian bases in southern Lebanon. But they held off after the Shamir attack because of Nixon's presence in the Middle East.

IN CAIRO, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy warned that his government would not "stand with its arms folded toward the new Israeli aggression against Lebanon. "Israel should bear the responsibility for the consequences of this aggression including sabotage of peace chances in the Middle East," he declared. Meanwhile, the Israeli military command announced that it had surrendered most of the Syrian bulge at the northern end of the Golan Heights captured in the October war. A SPOKESMAN said Israel handed over to United Nations forces a 180-square-mile area in a brief ceremony Tuesday near Tel Shams. Israel completed the first phase of the four-part disengagement last Friday.

By next Sunday it is to surrender one-mile-wide strip running parallel to the 1967 cease-fire line, and then complete the disengagement June 26. 4 5, Metropolitan and state Deaths ..5 Northeast Iowa ....22,23 Sports 29-32 Television ..33 Theater 17 Waterloo News 3,5,6 You and Your Interests 13-16 Cedar Falls News ....12 Classified Advertising 34-38 Comics ...33 Editorial 4 Farm News 21 Jeane Dixon Horoscope 33 Markets 39 News briefs Upholds conviction WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court Wednesday upheld the court martial of former Army Capt.
